John 18
1 When Jesus had said these things, He went with His disciples across the Kidron ravine, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples entered.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who was betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus frequently resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Then Judas, leading a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Therefore Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to Him, went forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek all of you?
5 They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus told them, “I AM.” Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus says unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Now when He told them, “I AM,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Then asked he them again, Whom seek all of you? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. So, if you are looking for me, let these go their way,”
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore all of you seek me, let these go their way:
9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “I have lost none of those who You gave me.”
That the saying (logos) might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them which you gave me have I lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and stroke the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 So Jesus told Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath! Shouldn’t I drink the cup that my Father has given me?”
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Then the detachment of soldiers and their commander and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and tied Him up.
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 They led Him away to Annas first, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14 It was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Since the high priest knew that disciple, he entered with Jesus into the high priest’s court,
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 but Peter was standing just outside the door. So the other disciple, who the high priest knew, went out and spoke to the woman who guarded the door, and brought Peter in.
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spoke unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then the maidservant who kept the door asked Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples, too, are you?” He said, “I am not.”
Then says the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He says, I am not.
18 Because it was cold, the servants and the officers were standing there warming themselves, having made a charcoal fire. Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Then the high priest asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me to tell you what I told them. They certainly know what I said.”
Why ask you me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 When He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by hit Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answer you the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify about the evil, but if I have spoken honestly, why do you hit me?”
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smite you me?
24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they asked him, “You aren’t one of His disciples, too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not!”
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with Him?”
One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see you in the garden with him?
27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early morning. They themselves didn’t go into the Praetorium, so that they wouldn’t be defiled, and so that they might eat the Passover supper.
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges do you bring against this man?”
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring all of you against this man?
30 They answered, “If this man wasn’t a criminal, we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.”
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a villain, we would not have delivered him up unto you.
31 Then Pilate told them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your Law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It’s illegal for us to put anyone to death.”
Then said Pilate unto them, Take all of you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 This happened so that the words would be fulfilled which Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die.
That the saying (logos) of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33 Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this about me?”
Jesus answered him, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?
35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you unto me: what have you done?
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom doesn’t belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, then my servants would be fighting to keep me from being delivered up to the Jews; but as it is, my kingdom isn’t from here.”
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from behind.
37 Pilate therefore asked Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You are right in saying that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify about the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate therefore said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. After asking this, he went out again to the Jews and said, “I find no basis for a charge against Him,
Pilate says unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and says unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 but you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore you decide: do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?”
But all of you have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will all of you therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all shouted back, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
